Nordstrom is a\u00a0luxury department store that has removed the Ivanka Trump brand online and in stores. It claims to have made this decision based off the brand\u2019s poor performance in recent months.<\/p>\n
Nordstrom hopes that its decision to sell or not to sell Ms. Trump\u2019s brand, now and in the future, is no indication of its political affiliation. It\u2019s all business. If the store keeps buying products that don\u2019t sell, that money just goes to waste.<\/p>\n
Poor performance is not the only factor in the ending of Ms. Trump\u2019s brand in Nordstrom stores. The initial move to end the brand\u2019s appearance in stores came from the public. The campaign called #GrabYourWallet made a huge effort in making this possible. This campaign encourages shoppers to boycott any products that have any tie to President Trump or his family.<\/p>\n
Shannon Coulter, the co-founder of the campaign, said that supporting certain brands that have ties to President Trump are in turn supporting him.<\/p>\n
Nordstrom is not the only business to pull products from its stores. Macy\u2019s is another department store that decided back in 2015 to stop selling President Trump\u2019s dress shirts after he used rude language to generalize about Mexican immigrants.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a company\u2019s duty to take a political stance in any situation, but at the place we are now as a country, it\u2019s hard for them not to take one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
